This time I plan to succeed in losing the 175 pounds I have been carrying for too long! I have been successful in the past only to fall back in to old habits. Since my father passed away 9 years ago my weight has steadily increased until I feel my health is beginning to suffer. I will be turning 50 next year and I hope to start the new decade with a new outlook and a new body! I am from Western PA, married to my husband for 20 years, no children. I have 2 - 1 yr old Border Collies, 2 geriatric cats and 2 - 1 yr old cats! I am new to SP as of 08/30/10 and will appreciate any help and advice! Thanks!
